Fall golf

$39 golfnow , ok price.
Can live with the price because they are still maintaining course , something not done by most courses after October 1
Played in 3 hours after playing through a foursome that played 4 holes on a 5 hour pa e with no one in front of them how any foursome play at that pace is an embarrassment

Play here several times a year and course is always in good condition. Greens rolled great and at a good speed
Tee boxes and sand good condition
Fairways a little thin but it is mid October
Staff always friendly
Good test from back tees

I play all over Chicago land area and recommend giving a try. You won’t be disappointed

Great Valur - Great Test

Reason - great layout , pace of play is always good ( generally play between 8:30-9:30). Played in 3:10 today , 3 some

Tee boxes , fairways and greens in great condition.
Greens were average speed but rolled true

$35 on Golfnow

Many that live in the south or west suburbs don’t know about Sheppard’s Crook Make time to try it

Good value - good test

Practice facilities great. Staff friendly and helpful
Tee boxes and fairways very good
Greens looked awful BUt rolled fine and with good speed. Pace of play for Friday at 9 was great - 4 hours.

Not overly difficult but enough of a test for single digit handicap playing from gold tees -6450

Great value for 33 on golfnow

As good as it gets!

Play golf all over the country , some private clubs and play over 20. -30 different course in the Chicago area each year

Blackstone has the BEST greens I have played
Always consistent and as fast as any ( have played several TPC courses)

The overall condition of the course is first class from the tee boxes fairways bunkers and of course the greens. Nice practice area

Carts are top notch as welll - phone charger

Pace of play is great. Last 4 times I played here we finished in 4 hours ( foursome all different times and days)

Do yourself a favor and play this course

Great , fun layout

Always Fun Creat Test

Pauite Wolf is a great test
Staff is great
Golfnow hot deal makes it even better
Course - fairways , bunkers and tees were great

Greens were slow and bumpy that is why I rated 4 overall for course conditions

Pace of play was slow 4;55
Reason is not the fault of Pauite although the marshalls could be tougher on slow groups

The 2 groups in front of us were awful , reason being they played the yellow tees 6400 yards and none of them could hit a ball 200 yards.

Most of the time they hit ground balls into the desert

People - move up!!!

Always Great!

Played for the second time this week and a great experience

It had rained on and off on Tuesday and rained fairly heavy Wednesday morning. You would not have know it as the course conditions were great. Fairways were still firm and greens were smooth and fast , great roll

Several groups stopped because of the rain and a washout problem behind the 4 th green

TPC made an effort to make sure those who wanted to play after the rain got back out with an opportunity to finish

Tee time was 1:20 and our foursome finished in 4:00 and we took our time waiting for the cart path issue at 4 was taken care off

The staff here is knowledgeable and friendly. Great staff

I played the 6 different “premium” courses over the past 8 days and by far the best greens

Must play if in Vegas

Greens Need Work

Played the Wolf. 9:00 tee time. Played with 3 locals
Played in 4:00. Never waited
Course layout is great , staff helpful and friendly
Great practice area

Gave them 5 for everything BUt 4 for course conditions and that is generous because of the greens.

Worst I have played in Vegas. Bumpy and slow. They need a lot of work and for $140 just not worth it

This place has all the money they need to keep it in great shape but the condition. Of the greens is inexcusable

I always try to play TPC LasVegas , Coyote Springs and Pauite Wolf but will have to think about paying $140 for here

Must Play!

I play the TPC at least once every time I come to Vegas. 8:40 time, foursome played in 3:50
Greens rolling at 12 and rolled Great
Everything here is top notch
The only reason I gave 4 stars for value (5 stars in all other categories) is they give you 20-25 range balls.
Most top end courses have unlimited or at least give you around 50 range balls

Staff knowledge and friendliness is the best and I work in the golf business

Great Course

Great layout and test of golf
As good a practice faculty as is and I have played golf in over 20 states for 40 plus years

Staff is super friendly

95 degrees and 25 mph wind but the fairways are plenty wide enough and very fair

Bunkers are severe and had bit much sand
Greens rolled great average speed ( kept at this speed because of general windy conditions and usual red greens)

Scenic and good variety /layout

Drawbacks are that hard to get any cell service
Leave plenty of time if coming from Vegas , lots of construction.

Pace of play - this in not their issue but an industry issue especially in “resort” areas
Played blue tees , 6800 yards 144 slope 72.8 rating
The 2 groups in front of us played the white tees 6215 - 139 slope and it was way to hard for them
They hit their tee shots everywhere Fairways are 50 yards wide here and they were in the desert all day

This is an industry issue . I guarantee that the golfers in front of me do not play gold courses with 139 slope , deep bunkers and undulated greens
So why torture yourself and all the golfers behind you by playing from the wrong set of tees?

Move up!!! I did 3 years ago and only play from 6400-6800 yards

Rangers - friendly but when say 5 hours is pretty good I don’t see it
I know they are in a tough spot and want people to come back so getting on them won’t sit well bit you run the risk of the golfers behind them not wanting to come back. - 5 hours is not acceptable
I just played Spanish Trail 8:40 tee time 4 some 3;45 minutes
Revere -Lexington 3 some 4;05 8:08 tee time
Both courses were busy
The course and staff are great just need to monitor play closer

Don’t waste your time or money at any price

Let’s start with the positive won’t take long - greens in good shape staff was friendly after that just awful

I understand it was a cold winter but many areas of the tee boxes were bare and uneven
Very little grass in fairways and lots of crabgrass/weeds

It gets worse - front nine took 2:50 minutes on an average difficulty course! The only way this happens is if the staff lets it. I did not see a ranger all day. Fortunately the back nine only took 2:20 minutes

The group in front of me played from 6000 yards and were never ready to play. They fell behind several times and that was at a 2:50 pace!!!! I learned they are “regulars”

I understand this is a community golf course but if this is how this course is managed and maintained do the paying public a favor and do not sell them tee times

The management and ownership should be embarrassed This course was designed by Johnny Miller I guarantee if he saw the condition and how it was run he would demand his name be removed

If you want to waste 5-5:30 hours on a poorly maintained golf course this is you place

Please do the public a favor - don’t sell them a tee time I would not play here again if they paid me

Nice track

Staff accommodating and friendly. Had 8:40 time moved me up to 8:10 and let me go off the back with 2 other singles. Played in 3 hours
Tee boxes in great shape fairways a touch thin. Said it was a cold winter. While greens rolled Great they were slow. Putting green was great but on course greens were slow. Greens very undulated maybe reason for them being slow

If they get the greens right would have rated 5 for course conditions

Panther Creek

Course was in immaculate condition. Range and practice facilities top notch. Pace of play a little slow because most golfers will not play correct tee box. If you can’t hit your driver 220 yards you should not play from 6800 yards like the 2 groups in front of us. Marshall’s did a great job of pushing them but I don’t think they hit a green in regulation all day
Must play if in Orlando

Have played the Wolf several times and always in good condition.

Greens were the best they have been since I started playing 6 years ago

Was a single with no place to go but pace of play was great and it was busy. Several 4 somes in front of me. Rangers kept everyone moving
